cosmos-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cosmos-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from teampolarity/cosmos-mcp. It costs 1,310 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for cosmos-mcp, an MCP gateway that lets AI clients share a personal knowledge graph. MCP is a standard way for AI assistants to call tools and use connected data.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide work on the TypeScript MCP server, command-line entry point, source connectors, authentication, daemon, and tool modules. They also explain how clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Zed, and Continue connect to it.
Why use it?
They give contributors a map of the codebase and identify the authoritative tool list, data sources, authentication flow, and backend service. This reduces confusion when changing the server or its integrations.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is teampolarity/cosmos-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cosmos-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cosmos-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cosmos-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cosmos-mcp

@polarity-lab/cosmos-mcp — the MCP gateway to Cosmos. Any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Zed, Continue, Claude Code) reads and writes the same personal knowledge graph hosted at cosmos.polarity-lab.com.

  • npm: @polarity-lab/cosmos-mcp under the wearepolarity account
  • Repo: teampolarity/cosmos-mcp (GitHub User, not Org — admin actions need a PAT minted from that account)
  • Landing: mcp.polarity-lab.com (README drives the page + Glama listing)
  • Backend talked to: cosmos.polarity-lab.com (the cosmos-fork Pages project)

Layout

  • bin/cosmos-mcp.js — CLI entrypoint. Dispatches subcommands and resolves the user key.
  • src/server.tsdist/server.js — the MCP stdio server. npm start runs this.
  • src/tools/ — the 11 read/write tools exposed to MCP clients.
  • src/sources/ — local CLI source connectors (imessage, browser, calendar, claude-desktop, shell-history).
  • src/daemon/ — scaffolding for the signed Cosmos Sync.app LaunchAgent (0.6.0+, npm publish blocked on lab Apple Dev account transition).
  • src/auth/ — browser-based init bootstrap that mints a per-user key. The provision / install-handler / daemon subcommands live in bin/cosmos-mcp.js, not under src/auth/.
  • src/version.ts — single source of truth for the runtime version. Read from package.json at module load; used in the User-Agent header, --version output, and the MCP handshake. Don't hardcode versions anywhere else.
  • browser-extension/ — the Chrome and Firefox WebExtension surface (listed on CWS as cosmos by polarity lab, extension id jomeclciefpboanjnlfcdfgfjalldfno, and on Mozilla AMO). Lives in this repo, not as a separate cosmos-browser-extension repo. Shares filter-rules.json with src/sources/browser/ via browser-extension/scripts/sync-filter-rules.sh. Publish scripts are amo-publish.sh and chrome-publish.sh under browser-extension/scripts/.
  • tests/ — vitest. Run via npm test.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
